President Karolos Papoulias and Prime Minister George Papandreou have agreed to meet in due course, possibly after the latter's upcoming trips to Paris and the Turkish city of Erzurum.
The agreement for the meeting came during a brief discussion on Saturday at the traditional exchange of New Year greetings at the Presidential Mansion.
The two officials noted the difficulties the country and the Greek people are currently facing.
At this difficult time, what comes first is consolidation of the just state and social justice, which the government is working on, Papandreou said.
After the ceremony, Papandreou went to his office in parliament, where he held consultations with foreign minister Dimitris Droutsas and minister of state Haris Pamboukis ahead of the premier's planned visits.
